This week, Erin discusses a study from Harvard researcher Deirdre Barrett on why women tend to have more anxiety and distress during sleep, how the pandemic has made it worse, and tips for giving your brain the rest it deserves. Then, Bryan talks about Chandler Bing’s original gayness, Pete Buttigieg standing in for Mike Pence during Kamala’s debate prep, and a questionable poll out of gay dating app Hornet claiming a large percentage of their users intend to vote for Trump.
